First, Moss wasn't coming here. He was just using GB to get to New England. He's said as much since he was traded (as have the Raiders). Next, with GM Favre, we'd have a broken down Rivera (who isn't even in football now) and Steve Mariucci recreating the 2000 Lions part deaux instead of MM...

I'm really not sure about the bolded part. He has yet to say that he's 100% dedicated and seems more interested in setting up a situation where he could DECIDE to come and play in 2-3 weeks - not one where he can play now. If Favre comes in rusty with a new set of plays and is only about 80%...

Again, Favre hasn't said definitively that he wants to play in the NFL right now. He's said that he wants to be released so he has the right to play or named starter on GB. If Favre really wanted to play, this would be a great time to say so. Yet, he didn't. I really think Favre isn't 100% on...

Did you guys really get the impression that Brett would be 100% dedicated to winning a Super Bowl with GB for all camp + 17 week regular season + playoffs? I honestly didn't get anything close to that. He looks like a guy who was just told by his girlfriend that the relationship is over and...

I'm just saying make everything (except maybe the compensation public). So, in essence, assuming a team is willing to give a 4th or 5th round pick for a starting QB (which you would assume most would do), there's no real difference between that and Brett being a FA.

Here's the solution. Tomorrow, come out with this statement: "We understand that Brett would like to play in the NFL as a starter. Brett has done a lot for the Packers and the Green Bay community. So, we'd like to honor his request within reason. Even though Brett has 3 years left on his...

What's interesting is that he still hasn't said that he's 100% committed right now. He kept saying "if" when talking about his commitment. He could have put on the full court pressure on the GB organization by saying this: "I'm 100% committed to being the starting quarterback for Green Bay...

What most people are saying is they doubt a prideful, 39-year old Brett Favre is going to send the letter to Goodell, report to GB on day 1 and play hard in camp starting out as the team's backup QB. Especially someone who's having a hard time being motivated (from his own words). If he did...

There is no unbiased person that could read Thompson's timeline and feel that GB didn't handle this the right way. You also can't expect GB to, after an offseason of preparing Rodgers and the team for change and adjusting the system, to drop everything and add a 39-year old Favre as the...

The odds that Brett shows up to camp on day 1, plays hard as a "backup", wins the starting job at 39 and doesn't miss a day are slim. Brett would not show up to camp to be the backup and the Packers are very smart to play it this way. Here are Favre's options: 1. Don't show up to camp and get...

Journalists love sucking up to star athletes and criticizing organizations. They think they keep their credibility by going after GB and get to send Mortenson down to play catch with Brett by backing up Favre. They've been doing this game with star athletes for years.

The NFL doesn't equal 31 companies. The NFL is like a major company like Honeywell or IBM. At IBM, you couldn't just go up to your boss and say "Hey, I'm tired of working in the computer division, I want to go work for the printer group" and have them gladly accept. If your worried about "civil...

Updated from ESPN - GB will welcome Favre back to be the team's backup QB if he applies for reinstatement: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3484473 John Clayton also came on and supported the story that TT and MM tried to get Favre to come back as the starter in late March. His...

I hold no ill will towards Brett. And I agree with the sentiment above that I will be rooting for him to do well in games not against GB. That said, Favre can't expect for the end to be entirely one-sided. You can't string along the franchise for 3 seasons, retire once - talk about coming back...
